Like totally addicted, I've eaten a few of these in the last 5 years. A superb Chicken Sandwich the most beautiful delicious ever eaten filled with both a Chicken Breast n Leg. One of a dozen Salvadorian restaurants in Metro Detroit, plating up Pupusa, Chicharron, Yuca Frita and mucho more. Also full Mexican menu and desserts to enjoy. Hundreds of 5 star reviews around the web Google Yelp Instagram just take a look.

I can't recommend this place enough! Everything was incredible. The service was super friendly. We dined in even though it seems to be mostly takeout. They do have tables and it's a good spot for a chill dinner out. The papusa with bean and cheese was incredibly good. The chimichanga with beef was so flaky on the outside and gooey on the inside. The tacos were also good and my favorite was the el pastor. They were even better with salsa poured on top. The chips and salsa were also incredible which is always a good sign!

I never give one star review but this place was the worst restaurant I've been to in years. Service was horrible the food was not flavorful at all. How can a Mexican Restaurant mess up guacamole and only have one size $10. This is the perfect location and could do very well if the food and service were better.

A friend highly recommended Buena Fe Restaurant. I stopped in and ordered carry-out. There was a steady flow of customers coming in and out. They're relatively quick and friendly. I enjoyed my selections and will return to try more menu items. There's plenty of space for dining in. There is also a parking lot for the strip mall they're in.

We decided to take a short drive and have some of the best dang tacos I've ever had tonight.Birria tacos. Ever had these? Holy Cow, and I mean that literally. Sure, the place isn't fancy, but it doesn't need fancy. Quick service, food was delivered fast and hot. And those tacos... served with steaming hot rice, a refried beans with cojita cheese on top. The guacamole was... whacko good.In summary: Want great tacos? Come to this place, order the birria taco meal, and just freaking enjoy.

The dining area is basic. I had the Lunch Special #1 with Papusas. I had the bean and cheese and the cheese. There were knats flying around the food after it was served. Very annoying. We were also never offered refills of our drinks while we were there. Service was a bit lacking.

The food was beyond any expectations I had, authentic. The ambiance was nice. The service was awesome. I over ate because every bite was simply delicious. My pupusas were divine. My tamales were literally to die for.

As someone who spent time in El Salvador, I'm a sucker for a good papusa.Buena Fe's do not disappoint!Chimichangas, tacos and papusas are what we've tried. All good, but papusa's were excellent.Ambience isn't awesome, a little tired in the decor department and the space is too big. Some shelves of Salvadoran staples might take some of the cavernous feeling out (just a thought).Great value and the people could not be nicer!

small hole in the wall with non-fancy exterior. Gives you a true Salvadorian feeling inside and outside. It is not fancy nor is it advertising to be. In terms of environment it is exactly what you would expect for a mom and pop central American restaurant. Food gave me a taste of El Salvador without going there. Got the pollo Suisado which was recommended and I could tell this was slow cooked for hours with love. Chicken (thigh + drum) was tender in a savory soul warming sauce plus a side of rice and beans. This was $15 and the definition of comfort. Same can be said about the chicken soup (forgot actual name). This soup reminds me the of the kind of thing I want when sick or cold outside. Hot, soul-warming, soft vege, salty. Has fried chicken and rice which complemented it well. It is also $15. But the papusa which was $2.5 was SO good - perfectly made and perfect portion of pork sandwiched between corn flour pancakes. I would go back and order many of these. Guac was so so. It is slightly liquidy rather than solid. It doesn't look like some of the other guac pictures on yelp from here. Nonetheless it was good. It was reasonably priced and price point was on par with the vibe I got from the ambiance. Would return. Service was attentive and nothing to complain about.

I REALLY wanted to like this place...so I may try it again; ordering with very specific instructions.I was excited to find a neighborhood taco restaurant, thinking that I would frequent it regularly.I ordered a few tacos, pork and steak.Both varieties had pretty good flavor, but in the end, the meat was incinerated. My teeth hurt trying to enjoy these tacos.The service was friendly, though slow. The menu items are affordable.
